Glide

February 9th, 2011 by BillyG

Captain Magigate, a legendary inventor and recluse who is equal parts Albert Einstein and Don Quixote, confronts his own shadowy destiny when two adventurous teens disrupt the status quo of his covert lab on Isla de Tiempo Muerto. When the Captain’s nemesis, the Prophet, who once had an iron grip over much of the world’s commerce, escapes her island prison taking one of the teens hostage, Captain Magigate must face not only his long-time foe and erstwhile lover but also the ambiguous legacy of his inventions.

GLIDE is a dark and quixotic look at what happens when technology and invention reach beyond their pale to compensate for the shortcomings of heart and soul.
